Chicken Souvlaki

Last night we grilled Chicken Souvlaki for dinner.  It was the first time we've made kabobs and it was a success.  Also the first time to grill lemons.  John decided to add the tomatoes and they were delicious.  The recipe comes from Real Simple Magazine.  The recipe isn't on their website, but it's in the July 2012 issue.

Here's the finished product:

Here's the whole meal:

Summer!

It's summer and I'm feeling spacious and creative and ready to resume my blog.  I'm taking a wonderful online class called "Way of the Monk, Path of the Artist" from Abbey of the Arts.  So I thought I'd begin posting some of my projects from the class.

The first exciting project was Wisdom Cards, made with watercolor and collage.  These cards asked questions of our inner monk and inner artist.  We made the cards with the question written on the back, but without knowing which question went to which card.

The question for this card was for my inner artist: Why am I afraid?

For my inner monk: Where is God?

For both the monk and artist: How do I find peace?
